[quoteMr. Men? Never heard of him/them.

I was babysitting one day and the 8 yr old told me about Mr men and it is soo cool.Its about these smily face characters like Mr Grumpy,Little Miss sunshine,Miss troublemaker,etc. I also remember the books when I was a kid and loved them too.Its on cartoon network.

Oh I know them! They were around when I was growing up. My mum bought me the "Miss Bossy" book. I have no idea why. [8|]

That would be why you have the Miss Sunshine avatar, Sunshine. *grin*

Like how I spun that around to fit the topic? LOL!

I LOVED the Mr. Men books as a kid. I had no idea they were still around! [:D] My favorites were Mr. Small, Mr. Nosey and Mr. Tickle. [:D]

Wow, I just realized I could totally replace my current avatar with a picture of Mr. Greedy and you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. LOL

A year or two ago someone used Captain Kangaroo as an avatar and some people felt it was creepy.

How could he be creepy? I mean, Capt. Kangaroo was the Mr. Rogers of my day.
[8|]



People think Captain Kangaroo is creepy?

That's skeery.... [:o]


It's cause of the bowl-cut and bushy 'burns! [&:]

Seriously, there have been so many negative things happen with people associated with teaching children the past several years that all seem suspect. Capt. Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers are a dying breed. [:(]


Just out of curiosity did y'all know that both of these gentlemen were highly decorated Soldiers in WWII?

Actually, I did know that about Mr. R., but not about the Captain. Interesting.


I knew Mr. Rogers was a Marine and had tats running up and down his arms, thus the long sleeves.

earthless, sorry my avatar scares you (LOL), when I get acess to my my other computer will slow it down, gee it is supposed to make a statement. LOL, I guess I am not that great on photo shop.[:o] Atleast, I did not change the hair.

car2ner -> RE: Avatars, free expression, or offensive to some. (3/23/2008 8:17:35 AM)

oddly enought, this avatar of my husband and I dancing might be more offensive to some on a certain thread, than my world of warcraft pics.

Ya can never tell what a person thinks is wrong when you think it is right... but when I think something is wrong it is wrong......(snicker)

If you find William Shatner enjoying a gigglefest offensive, you're unAmerican.



Little_1 -> RE: Avatars, free expression, or offensive to some. (3/25/2008 9:58:53 AM)

Good question. Some avatars are sexualised - some are comical - some are pretty - some display a beautiful photo (such as your own and many others onsite); some have a message to give when linked to their signature. The one I would like to post when I have reached the big '50' in posting is the latter (i.e. one which has a message to give when linked to my signature).

Hope I have you suitably intrigued and not disappointed when I am able to post it.

I wondered if that's who that was. *grin*

I guess I'm only partly unAmerican. [8D][8D]
